Dear Friend,
Tomorrow the Council has the chance to ensure that many laid off District workers can get their jobs back after the pandemic by passing the Displaced Workers Right to Reinstatement and Retention Amendment Act of 2020. However business lobbyists are working hard to weaken the bill and deny many workers their right to return to work! We can’t let them weaken the bill! The only way that we can stop this is by calling key council members today and asking them to hold the line on workers’ rights.
Please take 10 minutes to call the Council right now and tell them to stand up for workers and pass a strong bill! Click here for a script and a list of numbers to call!
Our recovery will be neither strong nor complete if it only benefits employers and businesses while leaving workers behind. Once you finish making calls please also send an email to the council using this link. We must win this fight and pass a strong right to return to work bill.
In solidarity,
Nikko Bilitza
